May 1, 201412 yr But most of them are black. How about the Washington PCs. Their slogan could be "the only thing in town that is correct politically". You beat me to it.
May 1, 201412 yr Sports franchises are private businesses? Even if they use public funding? How does that work? If your speaking stadium funding (which I tend to lean toward Getslows opinion) that would be more of a tax incentive in the nature of what Texas did for Toyata. That doesn't stop their status as a private business.
May 1, 201412 yr I hope they don't change it at all. BTW, I hate the Redskins too. Go fix/work on broken Washington politics you Bonehead. (Reid)
May 1, 201412 yr Don't several native American groups support the Redskins in keeping the name? Indians is not offensive! I'm Irish and have no problem with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. People need to chill!
May 2, 201412 yr Don't several native American groups support the Redskins in keeping the name? Indians is not offensive! I'm Irish and have no problem with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. People need to chill! People don't want to chill, they want to look for something to be offended by.
May 2, 201412 yr Not aware of the Federal Govt funding any sports franchises. So things like city taxes or state taxes aren't raised to help pay for new stadiums?
May 2, 201412 yr If your speaking stadium funding (which I tend to lean toward Getslows opinion) that would be more of a tax incentive in the nature of what Texas did for Toyata. That doesn't stop their status as a private business. Okay. I wasn't sure how that worked.
May 2, 201412 yr Maybe no nickname-then nobody could ever be offended. Except for that screwy D.C. part....
May 2, 201412 yr People don't want to chill, they want to look for something to be offended by. I agree! I am convinced that many people feel better when they are complaining about something, anything.
May 2, 201412 yr Sports franchises are private businesses? Even if they use public funding? How does that work? If I am not mistaken, isn't the NFL a "Non-profit"? If so, how in the heck are they able to claim that status?
May 2, 201412 yr If I am not mistaken, isn't the NFL a "Non-profit"? If so, how in the heck are they able to claim that status?? They make about $10 billon a year, not sure how they would qualify has non profit.
May 2, 201412 yr At the end of the day who cares if they change it. I'm not A Native American so who am I to say who should be and not be offended.
